Rocket Languages Reviews

Initially I liked the program. But there are some frustrating elements that could be improved.
1. Too often new nouns are presented without the prefix. To really build vocabulary, we need to know whether a noun is masculine or feminine.
2. Too often expressions are presented only in the casual "tu" form. Yet most of the time we would likely need to use the formal "vous" form. But that is not provided in many of the lessons.
3. Some of the vocabulary in the lessons is not very practical. It would be better if the words chosen for a lesson were those most likely to be used on a daily basis.
4. The program does not save your progress. You have to remember where you left off. When I log in it always takes me back to an early lesson that was completed some time ago.

- dialogue very clear
- good variety of topics in lessons
- maybe a touch over priced
- lesson review sections do not always save for me at the first time of trying
- cultural elements very interesting

I Appreciate the desire to keep updating and adding to the service

So far so good! I'm learning phrases fairly quickly. It would be helpful to have a walkthrough on basic letter sounds before starting to dive into phrases and grammar, though. I still can't figure out the r sound and feel like I'm having issues with each lesson as a result.

Rocket language courses are interesting and fun with what seems like a common learning template for all their courses. I purchased several Rocket language courses but they are just the elementary level. I would purchase higher level courses if there were better incentives or deals.

It took me quite a long time to decide to take the plunge and buy a language course. Ive only ever tried free apps like Duolingo which is also a good program. But i can tell you Rocket Italian so far has exceeded my expectation. I have just finished the first section. I have become quite addicted to the program. The numerous forms of self testing really does help it stick. Im not perfect and I did have to rerun the last two sessions three times for it to stick but believe me. Doing this has helped me a lot better than any of the free apps I have used. Long may it continue as I progress through the lessons. I agree with comments about the fact that some times quite rarely the recording went odd. Bit a quick stop and replay solves this. It doesnt happen often.
In short Im loving it at the moment. Not sure about when it gets harder though. Give it a go!!

I used Rocket Italian for several years and the used several other language apps, however, none were as complete as Rocker Italian. Also, with the recent changes to the Rocker Italian format, I feel more comfortable knowing that it is using the CEFR format.

Minus one star for the poor voice recognition performance. It would be 5 stars if that wasn't so inconsistent. Also, price at a discount is okay. I don't think I would buy again at full price. I may feel differently once I've finished the course.

I have been using Duolingo because it's free, but it's not meeting my needs. I like that Rocket Spanish helps with my pronunciation, which Duolingo did not. I had a coupon so I'm willing to give Rocket Spanish a try for 60 days! Plus, I already had the headphones with a mic so why not??

I love Rocket Languages!!!! keep up the good work :)

The only complaint that i have is that there are no tests or quizzes and that kind of makes me sad because i want to know where i am at at an academic level and i don't know how to do that with out a test or a quiz

Nothing to share at this point. Need to attend more classes to form an opinion
